i did not think i would enjoy this as much as i did. the characters were interesting and semi-flushed out (especially for a thriller). the plot was interesting, the twists and turns kept me guessing, and it was truly thrilling. i thought this was great to read in the winter.

This book had me on the edge of my seat and I binged it all in one day. I do caution anyone who wants to pick this up that there is some graphic images of violence, murder, and torture that definitely had me cringing. 
This book follows a girl who is trying to make it home through a snowstorm to be able to say goodbye to her dying mother. Her car can no longer make it through the blizzard in the mountains when she stops at a rest stop and meets four individuals also stranded there. When she goes outside for a moment she is stunned to find a child in a cage in one of the cars. This mystery had a lot of layers to it and some great twists that I did not see coming. It was very engaging and I was rooting for the main character through the entirety of the novel.
